UDP / RTP / FEC / TCP IP Rx
The RD-60 supports a number of IP based protocols for the reception of transport streams
via private and public networks. The RD-60 will automatically determine if an IP stream is
UDP, RTP, or a SMPTE-2022 FEC stream. TCP reception is a less common implementation
for transmission of broadcast transport streams, but has recently been added to the RD-60.
UDP ( User Datagram Protocol ) multicast/unicast streams are commonly used for broadcast
transport streams in local or private networks that contain little to no packet loss. UDP
offers no protection against dropped packets or packets received out of order (usually due
to packets taking a different amount of time to traverse network devices). Due to the low
reliability of UDP, it is NOT recommended to be used over the public internet or in
environments where the potential of packet loss, increased jitter, or out of order packets is
high. If packets are lost or received out of order, service anomalies will occur. The RD-60
supports up to 100Mbps when a 7 DVB Packet payload exists for each UDP packet.
